ok to further explain my leave and to answer some of the questions or assumption here is one of the last posts by me, cause my membership will expire in 7 days: 1) I have paid when I was at billings in cash to Branners (seven girlfriends ago, so at least 5 years), I still have my membership card No. 339. Then when this board became a paying board (last year) someone paid for me and I heard through various channels this was a lifetime signup fee. Now I have to pay again. 2) I don't pay 10 quid, or whatever any fee, if in return I give people advice, tell you about developments and considerations etc.etc. The forum is made by the members contributing and is for sure NOT made or OWNED by the moderators or the people hosting this site. What is more important, people posting and answering questions or people paying money? 3) Hey but you haven't posted much last year. Yes, 100% correct. Why? Because I had to pay for my membership. As I said, I don't pay and give advice free of charge. If I contribute I expect return of investment. So if I pay, I don't help anyone. 4) Shut up you sold loads of your cast manifolds, you are a concealed trader. Not correct guys. I developed the cast manifold to get the whole supra community one step higher and to provide a product to the community. I haven't actively sold any manifold on the forums and I posted the whole development of the product because I assumed people liked it. A few manifolds were sold in the UK and that has all been done by Terry S, who is (or was) an official trader on the board. 5) Comon you have enough money, you make your own stroker kit you got the fastest skyline in the Netherlands. What do you care about 10 quid. As I said: A community should be free of any charge. The traders can pay for the hosting. The forum on my supra site is paid in full by the only trader as well (yes, that is myself). 6) We have enough benefits for members like group buys and insurance discounts. Well guys, remember I am in HOLLAND, AMSTERDAM. You know, skip death and go straight to paradise. Traders, discounts, insurance, group buys, it means *nothing* to me. I am here in Holland. I cannot use anything of it. 7) Bandwidth costs so much money these days, the forums burn the money. If this is the problem, I do have a server ready to host this site free of charge. If that is where the ten quid per member goes to, let's move everything to my server and give every single member their money back. The money paid by the traders will easily cover my server's costs. 8) No the money goes to other things, not only bandwidth. Ok, then please explain and show me (us) where to money is going. If I agree, ten quid is on the way. If I don't see any decent explanation, I am not going to pay.

I'm signing off again. My membership was paid last year by someone who did care I am posting here. I am not paying myself the membership fee as I am not going to pay to an organisation who doesn't give out any clarification on what happens with the money. Branners, we've met in past and I do know you are ok, but if someone asks a question it's often better to just reply than to close the thread and say we are all childs and must listen to the big daddy. A club is made by the members. If we pay, we must see what happens with the money. Anyways, this was not meant as a rant topic, it was just a general goodbye to anyone. Have fun.

Crank and block is fundamentally the same, the rest are replacement items when building an engine anyways. If you can rebuild an engine but don't know how to drill a hole for the turbo oil feed then better just don't start at all And oil squirters? Who cares.

I'm 30 feet under sea level.

in the AEM maps are not password protected. Also we always fine tune the map after a few weeks when you have found 'spots' that were not addressed during the tune. Anyways, your car will kick ass, for sure

Yups, it's the crazy dutch and the mad greek invading the UK. If we can do road dyno + chassis dyno that would be awesome!

a 2jz with a cast manifold and single turbo would even fit in an AE86 corolla!

It's *that* simple yes. If the aristo is a TT engine obviously.

throw it away and buy a decent cast manifold. Tubular stuff cracks.. in the end.

you can always LPG on vacuum and use petrol on boost. Not difficult with the AEM.

I used to own a heavily tuned 2jz powered mk3 supra. Currently I own a mk1 supra (stock), mk2 supra (dragrace setup, GT42 + supercharger on a 2jz) and a mk3 (rather stock). Yups, correct it's a R334 (33 with 34 nose) and a widebody kit on it This car is an R33.

yeah guys. have to admit. I bought a Skyline and sold my mk3 supra. Obviously I still have more supras (three) than skylines. Here are some pics of today: http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/arnie0_558.jpg http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/arnie2_863.jpg http://www.supras.nl/phpBB2/attachments/arnie03_662.jpg

I got his phone number somewhere, but better give me yours and I'll forward it to him.

I went to the dark side guys. I bought an R33 GTR and sold my mk3 supra (the 2jz swapped one)... but.... I got a mk2 Celica Supra now in which I am building a 2jz-gte. The R33 GTR is mildly tuned with a T88 and some 720cc shower thingies. I'm installing an AEM this weekend and together with my evil twin brother (Dimitri) we're gonna rape the sh!t out of it this weekend...
